Great Moments in Comics History: DC Challenge #3

 

Splash Fact: Vultures circle Aquaman constantly, swooping down to feed at the slightest sign of fatigue or cancellation. It’s a squawky purple metaphor.

  5. is arthur hungry? is this in self defence? does he need water cause his hours up?

    poor arthur 🙁

  6. Aquaman’s lesser known power: making a vulture’s neck dispense thousand island dressing.

  7. @PaulMontgomery  OH, sorry, I thought that was the name of the article. I didn’t even know there ever was a comic called DC Challenge.

  8. The question is: when will this issue be featured on Tom vs. Flash???

  9. Wasn’t that the contest book where the writers did a round robin and each had to leave a cliff hanger for the next writer to solve?  I remember it being pretty incomprehensible, so this panel doesn’t surprise me

  10. I believe that Aquaman is trapped in the desert at this point. Apparently vulture blood works just as well as water. I remember being really excited about this book because it had everyone in it, but it is completely incomprehensible.

  11. It’s like that scene from Watchmen with the Black Pirate story.  Alan Moore has got to be pissed about this. 🙂

  12. Holy shit….

  13. BWAHAHAHA…..AAHHAAH!!
      Aquaman always finds away to crack me up. I don’t know if anyone has seen the old superfreinds episode where the villan was getting away in a plan and he leaps from the water and misses grabbing on to it. He then falls back down towards the oceans and exclaims; “ALMOST!” BWAHAHAHA……AAHHAAAH, that was all he did in that episode. Oh Aquaman you are to funny…..

    K

  14. Wasn’t this cut out from the theatrical release of the Watchmen movie?

  15. He should’ve been doing that to a cactus; that’s where all the water is! Cactoids are like the Atlanteans of the desert.

  16. now this looks like an aquaman book id be interested in.  Maybe aquaman is left stranded and injured floated on a boat made of his friends bodies. He gets hungry and eats the carrion eating the rotting flesh of his boat. Then the shark comes…..
